An event billed as a free speech rally and a protest against Twitter turned violent Saturday. The event featured some well-known conservative personalities, but organizers were forced to cancel the rally minutes after it started. A large crowd of demonstrators gathered at UN Plaza in San Francisco to oppose a small group, holding what was billed as a free speech rally protesting what they say is Twitter's censorship of some of its content.

The Demonrat's Black Shirt thugs now prevent anyone from disagreeing with the Masters. In Denver they just killed a man for disagreeing with the Masters, and in SanFran, they beat the hell out of a bunch, looks like broken bones and lost teeth.
Pretty sad spectacle. They intend to rule by force, and no disagreement will be permitted.

Supported by the media, big tech and Democrats. Get ready for more of this.

The left has learned that a very small percentage of the population (probably less than 5%) can control the vast majority just by being violent. The right, by definition, is law-abiding and non-violent, so it is not pre-disposed nor prepared to deal with such violent attacks. And especially in blue cities like San Francisco or Seattle or Portland, the blue city authorities, including the police shamefully, simply refuse to protect lawful citizens against the leftist thugs.
This can't go on. And it won't. A Concord moment is bound to happen if this keeps up.

OP, the leftards (socialists/commie/marxist/etc) aka democrats are feeling their opportunity is now, if they can just steal the election and cow the sheeple. After all, it worked for Lenin and Stalin and Hitler. And they have had decades to infest the federal institutions with their indoctrinated creatures.

Without a hint of irony one of the fascist goons said, "It's tough, I believe in free speech but I'm also anti-fascism,"

How any thinking person could vote for a Democrat is beyond me. These Leftists are fascist thugs right out of 1930's Germany. (And, how typical that the fascist thugs call the conservatives, fascists.)

It looks like our side has run out of non-violent options.
About time.

Remember you're in Pelosi territory so don't expect any protection from the rabid pit bulls roaming the streets. These thugs are Pelosi's army. All over the country these thugs represent the army of the democratic communist party where free speech is a thing of the past. Notice they pic on people who don't know how to defend themselves. They pick on the people who they know will not fight back. They know if they pick on the wrong guy the get their rear ends beaten. That's why their punks. Got it.

I am VERY frustrated that the organizers of these events don't have a LOT of very strong people in the crowd surrounding them ready to act. Antifa types are cowards and never attack unless they have a 10-to-1 advantage. This shouldn't be how it is - people should be able to protest without being attacked. But if you KNOW you'll be attacked and the police can't or won't help, appropriate self-help is necessary.

When you can violently attack citizens and the police with NO CONSEQUENCES, why not keep it up? The lying so-called ''media'' has their backs and blames the conservatives and of course, President Trump, every time. After his reelection I hope he turns loose the dogs of hell on these criminals. Enough is enough!

We hear how antifa is “loosely organized” but a large pack of their goons regularly turn out on demand. As usual, police presence was weak. You cannot depend on police protection, especially in democrat cities. So, I agree, organizers were remiss to not provide strong arm security.

It is very difficult to get a concealed carry permit in California, so these thugs know that almost none of their victims will be armed. Permits are available in some rural areas, I understand, but generally not in any areas along the coast. And those inland, rural folks are unlikely to travel to these events, I would guess.
And since our side is really not looking for violence, many don't bring weapons, even if they could.
This is slowly getting worse. Fortunately, not around here, ....at least not yet.

Remember, there is no free speech in the Pelosi zone, and soon across America is the Democrats win. This episode in SFO is just a microcosm of what it's like under the Communist left.

Looks like if you want to hold a peaceful gathering supporting Trump in San Fransisco you better put on your body armor. Or have overwhelming force waiting in the wings to deal with those who would bring violence.
So terribly sad we have come to this point.

Benito Mussolini would blush with pride at the ferocity of today's Black Shirt Fascists. Biden voters all, they were recruited by Obama to "get up in the grill" of conservatives and to "bring a gun to a knife fight." This is the American Fascism that we will have to survive if Biden/Harris/Pelosi/Schumer assume power. We'll start with their proposed Truth and Reconciliation Commissions and then move right along to the Re-education Camps. Once you learn to love Big Brother, you will be released back into the community.

"They have no business being here, they're trying to build a fascist movement in this country," said San Francisco resident Carol Seligman.
So says antfi Marxist Communist democrats as they try to tell Americans that fasists are republicans which they are not.

I live in SF Bay Area and I own some commercial space in SF. This violence is not helping Biden. Many people in SF are completely disgusted with this violence. Many retail businesses are keeping their doors locked, will open for you when you come to the door or call ahead. People are moving out and businesses closing. I know some people who have said they will not vote for president(don't like either one) but I know 2 that are life time SF Dems and they have said they are voting Trump, just based on law and order. I know this is just anecdotal but there is a feeling in CA that everyone has had enough. Also the Nancy Pelosi hair salon incident really turned people against her.

Sunday morning Trump Rally, Clearwater. Very good turn out. Many thousands of honks and thumbs-ups; very few single-digit midgets. One nut-job broad tried running patriots down in the parking lot. Someone gave her license plate number to the cops. --Veterans for Trump 2020

Yet again, police run by democrat mayors not protecting conservatives. When help is needed, crime scene investigators are only hours away.

Just passed my Federal Firearms test. My son encouraged me to because of all this goon stuff. The good Lord said I could defend myself. What would Ray Donovan do?

But, but they're liberals. Their minds are opened to everyones opinions - NOT. They are a very closed mind group of minions.
